We’re taking the 10:45 a.m. ferry from Long Wharf-North Pier in Boston to Spectacle Island. Spectacle Island is only a short, 15 minute ferry ride from Boston. There are 5 miles of trails to walk around and two "summits" to get a better view of the surrounding islands and the city skyline. There are also proper facilities, a snack bar run by Jasper White (Summer Shack) and lots of benches, picnic tables, open grassy lolling areas, and a protected (buoys) beach. The ferry leaves hourly going back to Boston. The last ferry leaving Spectacle is at 5:35 p.m. Round-trip ferry tickets cost $15 (adults) and $9 (kids 4 yrs-11 yrs).
Come check out this jewel of a park!
RSVP by Saturday, August 10
What to bring:
* Shared picnic: Bring something bought or homemade to share and plenty of water – unless you are happy to rely on the Jasper White.
* A bathing suit and towel (if you want to go swimming)
* Sunscreen and bug spray
* A windbreaker or something warm for the ferry -- even if it's a hot day, the ferry ride will likely be cool.
Optional: Frisbee, kite, cards, camera...?
Looking forward to seeing you there!
